Nice Android TV Box

I was having trouble finding a stable version of Android to replace my old systems. I bought a stock box before this one and was totally disappointed, you never know what will work well. I read the reviews about this box and thought it was worth a try. I love that this set top box runs Android TV and not just the stock Android OS. The interface is very nice and easy to customize to show only what you want to see. I'm only giving 4 stars because it wasn't a perfect setup but it probably could have been. I didn't want to sign in to my Google account, I wanted to install the APK from a USB drive. There weren't any stock apps installed that would allow you to install what I saw, so I had to log into my Google. account to install a file manager that can install the APK. Another issue I just discovered is that of the two USB ports you can plug a flash drive into both and it works fine, but you can only plug in an external hard drive into the 3.0 port and use it as optimize internal memory you can write to it. Port 2.0 doesn't recognize a hard drive that I have plugged in, but like I said, it recognizes a smaller memory stick. It might be best to use this port for mouse/keyboard/remote dongle. I haven't tried an active USB hub on port 3.0 to see if I can use 2 hard drives on that port. I bought this box mainly to watch IPTV with TiViMate and it works perfectly. The extended internal memory is used for the application's recording function, making it an excellent dash cam. The streaming was flawless and smooth. Voice search also worked flawlessly. Overall I'm completely satisfied as I have alternative solutions to several problems I've encountered. I just bought another one. I'll probably buy more of these too. Great box!
